The Quarantine INVESTIGATION.

The MORNING NEWS published the sub
stance of the finding of the committee, APP
pointed by the City Council, to investigate
the charge of lax enforcement of quarantine
regulations at the time the report of the
committee was submitted to Council. The
health authorities think that the publica-
ton of the full text of the report would have
a beneficial effect. The report was as fol-
lows.
TO the Mayor and Aldermen of the City
of Savannah: At the last meeting of Council
communication and resolution of the
Board of Sanitary Commissioners was re-
ferred to us for investigation and report
The communication contained an extract
from the report of the health officer, Dr.
Mcfarland, to that body as follows:
II health officer) beg to say that Alder
man w. f. Reid stated to me, on May rs,
that it was reported to him by several per-
sons that the quarantine station of this port
was being run to the benefit of the Tug
boat Company and N. Paulsen & Co., ship
chambers, to the detriment and inconven-
fence of other citizens"
Y1ar committee have thoroughly exam
ined the matter. They have examined under
oath every person whose names have been
given us by Alderman Reid who were acces-
sible, and every other person accessible
whose names have. been suggested to u.s. or
who the committee thought might be able
TO give any information of value touching
the management of the quarantine station
The entire testimony was taken down in
writing, which we herewith submit to the
Council We find the report to be without
foundation in fact, and we find nothing in
the evidence to justify any reflection upon
the Health Officer, or any one connected
with the quarantine i'll its management.
